Show : ALL flALLOVVS NOTB. ! ALL HALLOWS NOTES. The past week has been a very busy one at the College. The half-yearly examinations were on, which always means extra hard work for Professors and plenty of anxious expectancy on the part of the students. During the I first days of the week, sunshine and shadow alternated on many an anxious ' face, but unclouded sunsiiine alone re-. 1 mained after Wednesday afternoon, i when the Very Rev. President, Father Larkin, in the midst of the assembled Faculty, announced to the students-that students-that all had passed tutisfactorily; not only that all had passed satisfactorily; but that the examination, on a Whole, was the best ever recorded in All Hallows. Hal-lows. In the Preparatory Department the most brilliant answering- was by Albert Daly, of Salt Lake. His splendid aver- age of DS 2-3 per cent va3 not only ! liishest in the Preparatory, but in the ! College. Alfred Murphy, of Alhambra, Mont., obtained the highest average in . the College Courses proper. Out of a ' possible 1,000 he scored bS2 points, i. e., a percentage of 98 1-5. To him and Albert Daly special prizes were offered. . The very creditable average of over 90 per cent was gained by the following '. students (The order of rank denotes the order of excellence): In the Preparatory Department Albert Al-bert Daly, Herman Siegel, Warren Mul-vey, Mul-vey, William Carr, Bonner Gordon, Jakie Siegel, Jack Snyder. -i In the College Department Alfred Murphy, Thomas Sun, Thomas Brogan, R .Sneddon, Charles Lantry, A. Peder-sen, Peder-sen, John McGranahan, F. Luddy, A. , Sullivan, William Shieids, John Nevin, : William McDermaid, O. Snyder, J. Burri, William Coltharp, Charles Ma- i guire, John Mulvey, K. Thill, O. P. Johnson, T. Canning, Rossi Flynn, ' Charles Hamilton, Hugh Coltharp, Km-' Km-' met Mulvey, Gilbert White, Tom Doo-little, Doo-little, Leonard Thill, W. Moran. The average of Leo Moran, Walter Gavin, Royal Pease, Joe Fogarty, Charles Madden and Ed Riley was on j the very borders of 90 per cent. The expectations of all the classes were more or less realized. There were bouquets of choice flowers, rhythmical waves, brilliant Bparksr a brilliant dis-! dis-! play of marked batteries, etc., etc. The ) vague rumors, however, of the Scienti-! Scienti-! fic boys solving hitherto insoluble prob-" prob-" lems were as ill founded as the reports of a Buller victory- Wheri the last word was said, the geniuses, bright as they were, had to fall back, for the "tri- i section of an angle" behind the Tugela ! cf conchoids and conic sections. To ! their attempted solution of "perpetual '. motion" the principle of the conserva-: conserva-: tion of energy presented an adamantine front as impenetrable as the craggy ' heights overlooking Spion Kop. Before going farther in their attempts to : change the baser metals into i gold, they thought it wiser to give Bryan a second chance of changing silver into ; gold 'at the next election. The mid-; mid-; winter examination of 1S99 and 1900 be-i be-i longs now, with all its glory, to past I history. The living present is being i well utilized by a spiritual retreat I which immediately followed the exam, j inationa The Rev. Preacher is the , brilliant young Paulist, Father Mc-i Mc-i Corry, whose charming personality and j commanding- eloquence have made, his I name loved and revered throughout the Northwest. ' I ? j The following students- were awarded ! cards of honor for the month of Janu-i Janu-i ary: Thomas Canning, Thomas Wolo- j i ban, E. Smith, J. L.

' A grand rally of baseball enthusiasts j was held some days ago in the college hall to adjual differences between the "Grani'te Stars and California- Wonders" Won-ders" so that a strong college team might be formed from the best players of each. The greatest harmony prevailed.' prevail-ed.' The "Siiara and Stripes'" an'd the colloge blue, everywhere in profusion, did not biegid more lovingly than the hearts and" mi nd's of the hitherto contending con-tending diamond warriors, when it became be-came a question of doing battle for their common alma mater. Captain Gallagher of the "Granite Stars," with great magnanimity proposied that the one best fitted, to lead the college team to repeated victory was R. Canning, Captain of the "California Wonders," and ex-captain of the famous Green C San Francisco team; The nomination wa3 received with acclamation, and no dissentient voice being raised, R. Can- i nifrg was declared the duly and unanimously unani-mously ejected captain of the AU Hallows Hal-lows 1900 basebail team. The manager "chosen wati one well known in the world of athet'ics; one whou-a proweai has been displayed on many a hard-fought hard-fought footman field; one to whom All Hallows owes a lasting debt of gratitude grati-tude for the impetus he has given to college athletics; one whose splendid phyt.que is .a shining example of what well directed athletics can accomplish; one in fine, who, judging from the tremendous tre-mendous applause, ringing cheers and college yells which greeted his i:ni-nition, i:ni-nition, could be no other than the Old Reliable" J. P. Fanntng. Tie was nomi-rjatt-vi by John McKenma, ex-captain of the "Quaker Invinciiblea" and was, amidot "intense enthusiasm, unanimously unanimous-ly elected. The probable positions of thos? who were fortunate enough to obtain places on the college team will be the following: w Jchn Gallagher (captain of Grante Stars), catcher.. Joseph Bush, pitcher. i William Luddy, third base. John McKenn.1, Ehortstop. - TAomas Powers, left field. Thomas Brogan, center field. Thomas Wolohan, right field. . Captain Canning and Manager Fanning Fan-ning w ill take care of first and second biiiXt respectively. Judging from presemt indications there should be great diamond victories in stor tor All Hallows. . Harry Iers is progressing favorably and will s-m. be able to resume studies. Everyone in the college Is delighted vhat Mr. Hugh Ryan, ex-etudent and ex-profesocr has been promoted to the assistant-editorship of the Intermoun-tain Intermoun-tain Catholic. If his success as a journalist jour-nalist is commensurate with .his .success .suc-cess as a student and professor t'hen a new star has appeared in the realms of the fourth estate. The faculty and situ dents ofler him their warmest congrat- ulataons, and sincerely hope, that since he how resides in Salt Lake they will have a generous sihare of his genial company. .. On Tuesday evening the college was thrown into deer mourniing by a dispatch dis-patch from ' Charles- Nevin of Butte, stating, that Frank Browne of Melrose on a visit to his friend, Frank La'ird of Butte, was instantaneously killed j by touching live wire at the Mountain j Consolidated mine. The deceased had passed five years at AU Hallows during dur-ing all of which time he was a model student. His deep piety, ami'abie qual-ities, qual-ities, intelligence and application to studies made him a general favorite. He was a young man of great 'promise, many were the college; distinctions he had won; among others the elocution gold medal both in the juntior and senior departments. The bereaved and 'sorrowing . family have in their deep affliction, the heartfelt sympathy, and fervent prayers of both students and professors. |
